About Tailscale
Tailscale is building the new Internet by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.
Job Description
We’re seeking a talented and motivated full-time Software Engineer to join our growing team. You will work as part of the engineering team to:
- Develop the Tailscale product, contributing to client code and backend services. The client code is a mix of modern Swift, Kotlin and Go. Prior Go expertise is not a requirement.
- Bring a special focus on our mobile platforms, iOS and Android, while contributing to common code that supports macOS, Windows and other core client platforms.
Because we’re an early-stage and fully remote company, we’re looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and comfort working asynchronously are essential.
Key Responsibilities
iOS and Android development expertise:
- Proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI, and/or Kotlin
- Unit and integration test development and maintenance
- Cross-target code sharing
- Familiarity with mobile VPN infrastructure
- Providing support for the latest Apple and Android platform features while maintaining compatibility with a reasonable subset of older systems
What We Are Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in software development
- Strong understanding of software development principles, capabilities, and limitations of mobile platforms
- Proficiency in Go is desirable
- Experience with general networking networking concepts - DNS, VPNs, IP Networking, routing, etc.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently
- Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup
As a company, we strive to maintain fair and equitable compensation practices within our team across all roles and all levels. Tailscale's compensation package includes base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The salary range displayed on each job posting represents the target range for a new hire's base salary. Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.
Frequently cited statistics show that people who identify with historically marginalized groups are likely to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to help us break that statistic!
What We Offer
- An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self. We recognize the impact of diverse voices and backgrounds on the growth of our people, product, and company. And that flexibility in how and when you work empowers our team to integrate work and life.
- A competitive total compensation package. This includes a base salary, an equity incentive plan and variable commission (for quota-based roles).
- Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period. Take advantage of coverage for health, vision, dental, and more for you and your family!
- Remote first company—most of our teams work fully remotely. Enjoy a change of scenery wherever you can get wifi, participate in virtual and in-person social events, and leverage our corporate co-working program to visit WeWork (or other similar spaces near you). Some roles require in-office collaboration depending on team needs, which will be clearly noted in the job description.
- Connect with other Tailscalars IRL. Attend our annual company retreat, participate in team off-sites, and collaborate in person with teammates across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. We support intentional in-person connection through team travel and distributed collaboration.
- Support for your personal and professional development. Grow your career thoughtfully with $1500 USD annually for professional development, or take advantage of mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities.
- Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration. Our flexible, paid time off program supports you for any situation life throws your way, whether moving homes or travelling the world!
- A build-your-own home office setup. You choose your own company-owned laptop (Mac or PC), receive a monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1000 USD to customize your workstation to make it your own.
- Generous parental leave program from your first day. We care about your life outside of work and encourage new parents to take advantage of parental leave top-ups for up to 26 weeks.

Individual offers may vary based on experience and skill set.
Frequently cited statistics show that people who identify with historically marginalized groups are likely to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to help us break that statistic!
What We Offer
- An inclusive, flexible environment where you can be your authentic self. We recognize the impact of diverse voices and backgrounds on the growth of our people, product, and company. And that flexibility in how and when you work empowers our team to integrate work and life.
- A competitive total compensation package. This includes a base salary, an equity incentive plan and variable commission (for quota-based roles).
- Comprehensive group benefits with no waiting period. Take advantage of coverage for health, vision, dental, and more for you and your family!
- Remote first company—most of our teams work fully remotely. Enjoy a change of scenery wherever you can get wifi, participate in virtual and in-person social events, and leverage our corporate co-working program to visit WeWork (or other similar spaces near you). Some roles require in-office collaboration depending on team needs, which will be clearly noted in the job description.
- Connect with other Tailscalars IRL. Attend our annual company retreat, participate in team off-sites, and collaborate in person with teammates across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. We support intentional in-person connection through team travel and distributed collaboration.
- Support for your personal and professional development. Grow your career thoughtfully with $1500 USD annually for professional development, or take advantage of mentorship, coaching, and internal promotion opportunities.
- Paid time off and a healthy work-life integration. Our flexible, paid time off program supports you for any situation life throws your way, whether moving homes or travelling the world!
- A build-your-own home office setup. You choose your own company-owned laptop (Mac or PC), receive a monthly home internet reimbursement, and $1000 USD to customize your workstation to make it your own.
- Generous parental leave program from your first day. We care about your life outside of work and encourage new parents to take advantage of parental leave top-ups for up to 26 weeks.

Job Description
We’re hiring a Go Core Client Engineer. This remote role is for an engineer who will design, implement, and operate the Go-based shared client code that powers our product. You’ll work on core client subsystems: connection management, NAT traversal, control connection, encrypted transport, client lifecycle, and cross-platform runtime. You will be expected to ship end-to-end features, and improve reliability, performance, and observability.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, test, and maintain core client features in Go: connection orchestration, reconnection strategies, NAT traversal, encrypted transport lifecycle, and sync logic.
- Ship end-to-end client work: design, implementation, launch, and observability (metrics, logs, traces).
- Diagnose and reduce client performance and reliability issues.
- Collaborate closely with product, per-platform clients, and platform teams.
- Champion engineering excellence by driving code quality, architectural reviews, and design documentation.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers, fostering a culture of learning and knowledge sharing.
What We Are Looking For
The list below captures the skills and experiences we use to evaluate candidates. A strong candidate will typically demonstrate a subset of those items. You don’t need to meet every bullet to be a good fit, and we consider the overall combination of skills, growth potential, and impact.
- Strong production experience writing and shipping Go code (experience with Go is required).
- Experience operating large Go codebases and designing robust client or distributed systems.
- Startup mindset: flexibility to adjust to changing priorities and thrive in an async, remote environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication and the ability to collaborate across product and engineering stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Experience with concurrency, performance tuning, and debugging.
- Solid networking and systems fundamentals: IP, routing, NATs, TCP/UDP, and TLS.
- Experience with P2P, WireGuard or similar encrypted transports and NAT traversal techniques.
